Source: The Hollywood ReporterDC Comics has officially fired Eddie Berganza. All it took was years of accusations and a Buzzfeed article to get them to even notice. The article was released Friday and DC suspended Berganza Saturday, only to fire him Monday. The publisher gave the following statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Warner Bros and DC Entertainment have terminated the employment of DC Comics Group Editor Eddie Berganza. We are committed to eradicating harassment and ensuring that all employees, as well as our freelance community, are aware of our policies, are comfortable reporting any concerns and feel supported by our Company."
Berganza was previously promoted to group editor, despite having his sexual harassment allegations out in the open time after time after time.
